Design a Weapon Contest...results in!
hyori finkl
IMO none of the winning entries were all that great. But, I guess it'll be fine since the honorable mentions will be in as well.
Sir Skullcrasher

AH! I want that voodoo doll thing for my Nec. The rest...meh...but that shield...WOAH! hot stuff...

The doll reminds me too much of Lulu from FFIX.

I wouldn't be surprised if the curvy blade weapon is for the assassin.

I wish anet would honor like the winners by giving them a perfect 15% always req 7 version of the weapon they designed u know so the people who designed the winning entries wouldnt be like "oh great everyoen has _a perfect version of the weapon i designed_ but me, wow that sucks"
Well just some food for thoguht for the winners.

Anyway...
I don't like any of the winners. They look generic execpt the bow, it looks different but it doesn't do anything for me. Hell, the swords on the first two pages on this thread should have been included.
BUT they did say that a modest number of honorable mentions were to be included. Maybe I'll like one of them.

I think that the weapon designs were really creative and worth the recognition. THe Axe, hammer, bow and shield are really the cream of the crop though if you ask me.
Very nice ideas. Cant wait to see the honorable mentions

Congratulations to all winners and honorable mentions.
It's clear you put a lot of work in it!
My personal favo's: the hammer and the shield.

Dont know if this has been mentioned or not but will those weapons be green items? Im hoping they wont be, personally I like hunting for Gold items.

The bow and the shield are the clear standouts of even the winners. They are awesome.

i tend to agree with that idea...unless someone can come up with a reason why it would be bad for the GW community
is it just me or does that bow look like the Korean/Japan coke item thingy... for the shield i wish the wings were inside the bounderies of the shield instead of sticking out...looks > form/real function wins again in fantasy
but there's no need to flame me about this being a game...I get it...it doesn't have to, just a personal peve...that's all I'm saying

lol just looked at the entries.. they all put mine to shame
Urias Skult
I love the Hammer. The style of the art is sort of bland but the design in-itself is very clever. I also like the shield, but as for the rest, I hate to sound bigheaded but I preferred my own designs over them.

i like all except the kris, the shield and the staff. axe and hammer are best imo.
SilentAssassin
congrats to the winners
omg
that bow is just awesome !! I want that bow !! mammyyyy

The hammer is first-rate, as is the shield. In fact the only thing that I don't like that much is the bottom-right sword. But it's still ok.
Agild Greenfinger
this is not me being sour and I'd like to congrat all the winners, but honestly I'm a bit dissapointed with the winning entries.
I really like:
Chang's sword
the shield
the hammer(my favourit)
the axe(actually I'm not too hot on the drawing, but it's very close to one of my own axe designs so how can I not approve of it? )
the rest are pretty dull, in particular the vodoo doll idol, no offense to Allen, but I'm pretty sure others came up with that same idea and I have a hard time believing that none of those came up with a better presentation of said idol.
if there's one thing really bothering me though then it's the fact that Anet chose two swords for winning entries and left out a wand/staff...that just seems plain dumb. of the two swords submitted I'd like to see Nicole's go, as it seems to follow the "oooooh Spiky = cooool" design principle which I very much disagree with...
with that said...still congrats to ALL winning entries.

The axe is best by far, the way the dragons wings form the blades really is great.
Star Asia
A big congrats to all the winners in the Design-A-Weapon contest!!!
The axe and shield I would love to see my warrior wield!
And the bow just wowed me big-time----I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to S. Britton, the only UK representative who managed to get into the Honourable Mentions. Well done to everyone who contributed, and also to those who have posted in this thread. I am very enveous of your talents, I can barely draw a straight line myself ^^

I just want more skins for wands. There are already 50 bazillion axe, sword and bow skins.
There are 2 skins for necro wands. Not fair.

Could it be that the sword by Michelle Chang is a dagger for assassin? Just a guess, which would explain why they had 2 swords.
Agild Greenfinger
could be that they opted for that but it's still kinda lame since there was no Dagger category for the contest...
Sir Skullcrasher
I wish there were more different design for staffs and wands. Also more necro items wouldn't be bad since majority of GW community has a necro.
SziP
I hope there are more items just like these, having very nice looking weapons in a game makes it more attractive.
PS: When are they going to show some armor for Warriors, Rangers, Monks, Mesmers,.......etc.

omg i love that bow and changs sword is amazing too. can't wait to get my hands on some of these

it seems like everyone apart from the hammer, staff, offhand and sheild designers (as well as Anet) has forgotten which class weilds which weapon (secondarys excluded) where would a ranger want a necro looking bow, the sword is just plain gross and would be more suited to a necro and the axe.....looks like it'll fall apart if it hit anything. its a shame none of the winners really tried anything apart from the normal conventional styles already seen. if i had to choose a fav though it'd have to be the hammer (even though i hate hammers) as it looks as much a warrior weapon as can be. ( i do like the bow but it really isnt a ranger looking weapon at all, its got necro written all over it)

Szip you miss the point entirely or just didnt grasp it, the bow is in all intents and purposes a bat, that is more suited to a necros style than a rangers, i didnt actually say it was going to be used by a necro, same really for the sword, its a bone, its more suited to the necro than the warriors style. maybe if the warrior had some bone armour it might work but it suits no styles that the warrior currently possesses. unless this is an indication of new a armour style for the ranger and warrior?
and bigtru, am i not allowed an opinion because i didnt enter? why are you taking it so personally? thanks for the reply though even if its a little bit petty and troll-like.
i didnt enter because having a designed weapon just put in a game isnt enough of a prize for me to enter, after all this is what anet staff are getting paid to do.

^ I know they could have had a $10,000 reward at LEAST, common man I'm tried of hearing this argument...It was a priviledge, even a life time opportunity to contribute to artistically beautiful game.
